# Delete Wallet

If you no longer need a wallet, you can remove it from Atom Wallet. Make sure you have backed up your seed phrase before deleting, as you will need it to recover the wallet later.

### Step 1: Open the Wallet List

From the home screen, tap the **wallet name** at the top to open your wallet list.

### Step 3: Select Delete Wallet

A menu appears with three options. Tap **Delete Wallet** (shown in red).

* **Edit Wallet Name** - Rename the wallet
* **Delete Wallet** - Remove the wallet permanently
* **Reveal Phrase** - View the recovery seed phrase

### Step 4: Confirm Deletion

A confirmation dialog asks "Are you sure you would like to delete this wallet?" with a reminder to back up first.

* Tap **Delete** to permanently remove the wallet
* Tap **Cancel** to go back
